[@stoicawakenings101]

Absolutely loved this video! It’s eye-opening to realize how certain habits can undermine the respect we seek. As Marcus Aurelius wisely said, "You have power over your mind-not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." Embracing these Stoic principles and removing these six habits can truly transform our relationships and personal growth. Thanks for sharing such valuable insights!

When we gossip, those present may wonder if we spread rumors about them too. On the positive side, I was sitting with a group of family members when one of my three daughters was gossiping about her brother-in-law, and I stood up for him. My wife looked proud and respectful of me, and it felt really good

[@WisdomLife9]

What I learn from your video is that Respect is not demanded but earned through integrity, discipline, and self-respect. By eliminating habits like making excuses and being lazy, and by taking responsibility for our actions, we can build the foundation for true respect from others and ourselves. Thanks for deep sharing!

Every second of this story was perfection. The way you captured the highs and lows of emotions was simply breathtaking. Keep up the amazing work

[@quotesmotivationdaily]

"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult" Seneca - . When we avoid taking action out of fear of failure, problems grow larger in our minds, and our confidence diminishes. However, once we take the first step and confront challenges head-on, we often realize they aren’t as overwhelming as we imagined. Courage, therefore, not only paves the way forward but also reduces the weight of difficulties. ❤❤❤

Thank you for breaking down these harmful habits and showing us a path to self-respect and better relationships. Truly inspiring!

[@4KBluePlanet.06]

Epictetus said, 'It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.' Your videos embody this philosophy perfectly!

[@TheStoicismVoice]

Such a powerful and eye-opening video! These 6 habits are truly worth reflecting on, and the connection to Stoic philosophy adds so much depth. Thank you for sharing this valuable insight to help us grow and lead a more meaningful life. 🙌

[@StoicFrontier259]

This hit way too close to home, especially about making excuses 😅 Used to blame traffic for being late all the time, until someone asked 'Why not leave earlier?' That simple question changed my whole mindset. Now I'm working on taking responsibility instead of finding excuses. Anyone else struggling with breaking these habits? The personal appearance one was eye-opening too - it's wild how much of a difference it makes when you put in that extra effort!

[@journeyeveryday]

This video touched my heart deeply. It made me question the challenges and hidden purposes in life. Is the pain we experience, the betrayal, the loneliness, all part of a larger plan to refine and strengthen us? I wondered if every challenge I faced was pushing me toward something greater, something that was meant to be. How often do we overlook our potential because we are so focused on the hardships? This made me realize that perhaps I am not lost but being guided-am I being shaped for a higher purpose without even knowing it?

[@onestoicus]

Boundaries aren’t walls; they’re bridges to healthier relationships. Respect them, and respect follows.

[@stoicexcellencepath]

This article really hit home, especially the part about making excuses. It made me realize how often we undermine ourselves by not taking full responsibility. From now on, I’ll catch myself before falling into the excuse trap and focus on owning my actions.

[@harjeetrosha9875]

Very Important Video . Everything stated in this video is true and upto the point . I fully agree to whatever is said in this video because I have been through most of those situations . I have corrected myself many times and seen the difference in the reaction of the people towards me . I thank you for putting this video for all of us .

[@StoicQuotes365]

The point about respect being earned, not demanded, really hit home. It’s so easy to think that just doing the bare minimum will get us noticed, but in reality, it’s the habits we carry that define us. Removing excuses is one of the hardest but most rewarding changes I've made in my life. Anyone else feel the same way?

[@StoicTraining]

Wow, the part about emotional reactivity really hit home! It's so true - staying calm and grounded, even when things go wrong, is a real sign of strength. I never realized how much respect you can lose just by letting emotions control your reactions. This is a powerful reminder to stay in control and let composure speak for itself. Thank you for this insight!

"First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do." - Epictetus

[@elizabethvega5768]

I have no skin in this game. However, I respect people who offer helpful feedback in a constructive, supportive way. If you think you are more real, authentic and sincere than this creator by being harsh and critical of their content style then that speaks volumes about your personal values and ego, more than it does about the content creator's efforts to produce the best quality they currently know how to make.

[@StoicQuotes365]

This video is a powerful reminder that self-respect comes before the respect of others. We can't expect to be taken seriously if we keep undermining our own worth with excuses and laziness. I had to learn that the hard way, and it’s a daily challenge to stay disciplined. Who else is working on these habits?

[@stoickingdomoffical]

It’s a reminder that criticism, when not rooted in empathy, often reveals more about the person delivering it than the one receiving it. You've perfectly captured the essence of respect, not just in content creation, but in life-where the measure of someone's authenticity isn't in tearing others down, but in lifting them up with wisdom and grace. Your words invite us to reflect on how we choose to engage with others, especially in a world where it's easier to criticize than to offer meaningful encouragement. Have you ever experienced a moment where someone’s harsh words revealed more about them than the person they were targeting? How did it shape your view on giving and receiving feedback?

[@thomasomalley7619]

Belief in Love and respect is different from not trusting people unless they respect you. Respect through fear based boundaries require one to block access to one’s cowardly insecurities with walls and locks. When no locks and walls exist, no fear of haters would be developed by ignorance.

[@stoickingdomoffical]

When we live in fear, guarding our insecurities with locks and barriers, we never truly experience the freedom of authentic connection or respect. But as you so eloquently put it, when those walls come down, we’re no longer held hostage by the fear of judgment or hate from others. Instead, we gain a deeper understanding, not just of others, but of ourselves. This perspective is a beautiful reminder of the power that comes from embracing vulnerability and living without fear. Do you think there’s a particular moment or experience that causes people to build these walls in the first place, or is it something that develops gradually over time?

There is always a video about any subject that one may relate to so often a person will find one and place it in your feed. This is someone's opinion that matches how they feel. I had a relationship with no verbal communication and this was my experience.

[@stoickingdomoffical]

Your insight about relationships without verbal communication reveals such a deep layer of human connection-where silence can speak louder than words, but also where that silence can create invisible walls. You’ve beautifully highlighted how content like this helps people feel seen, reminding us that while our experiences may be deeply personal, they’re also shared by others who feel the same unspoken emotions. Have you ever wondered what impact non-verbal communication can have on a relationship's long-term health, especially when words seem to fail?

It's very interesting. People who overreact do thousand times more wrong to others than those whom they overreact to. Their tendency to misunderstand and not being forgiving. Never giving the chance to others to clear the misunderstanding. I realized i can never trust the friendship of these people. There's no firm foundation.

[@acerpag-asa2686]

I tried to control my emotions but i see people take advantage of my silence but being more like a bully. There's no respect if you're weak infront of bullies i have seen our school principal siding with those bullies and how i was replaced just because she belongs to a rich family. I remember my highschool classmate who was assigned to implement proper skirt length. She threw her weight around, one day i questioned her action and she slapped me but to my horror she was the one crying, throwing her eyeglass and broke it putting the blame on me. I didn't react but the principal believed her. She played victim while i became a sore to that principal's eyes😢I learned that a good liar was more believed because of their family background and status. Now, I don't care about other's opinion and would tell what's on my mind especially now that I too got the money and the prestige. There's the saying, With money you can't go wrong and who got more got the power.

[@stoickingdomoffical]

Your story is a powerful testament to the complexities of navigating a world where status and power can often overshadow truth and integrity. The frustration you experienced-being mistreated and disrespected simply because you refused to bend to those with more influence-resonates deeply. It’s disheartening to see how those who play the victim, armed with wealth or connections, can manipulate situations, while honest voices like yours are silenced. But there’s incredible strength in the journey you’ve described: rising above the unfairness, finding your path to power, and reclaiming your voice. Your refusal to stay silent now is an embodiment of Stoic resilience, showing that true power comes not from the facade others build, but from the inner strength that time and hardship have shaped in you. Now that you’ve gained both the means and the status, do you ever feel the weight of responsibility that comes with it, knowing the power it holds in shaping others' perceptions?

[@gadfly1]

All very well but sometimes the traffic or the train really does cause delay, so what are you supposed to do, get to work an hour early every day just in case your delayed? We work to live we don't live to work. There are things we can control and things we cannot and must endure.

[@ShaazStoic]

Great day stoic 😊❤

[@stoickingdomoffical]

*Respect is not something that can be demanded or manipulated-it is earned through actions, character, and a steadfast commitment to personal growth. If you continue to hold on to destructive habits that cloud your judgment, diminish your integrity, or drain your energy, respect will always remain just out of reach. The Stoics teach us that to live a life worthy of admiration, we must first cleanse ourselves of the habits that undermine our potential: complaining, procrastinating, self-doubt, resentment, arrogance, and dependency on others for validation. When you remove these barriers, you create space for wisdom, strength, and humility to flourish. Only then will respect naturally follow, not just from others, but from yourself. True respect starts with self-mastery.*

[@WillsWitney]

Husbands want respect.... listen to this video, it will mend your marriage and help you stop blubbing about respect

[@stoickingdomoffical]

@@WillsWitney You’ve touched on an essential truth-respect is foundational in any relationship, and often, we underestimate its power until it’s absent. To truly listen and understand each other can bridge even the deepest gaps. This journey of mending a marriage requires humility, patience, and the willingness to see from your partner’s perspective. By honoring that desire for respect, you’re not just saving a marriage; you’re nurturing a bond built on trust and understanding. Have you found any specific moments where showing respect made a difference in your relationship?

It’s an oxymoron using a cursed language loaded with semantics for validating leadership that sits around thinking about getting people to pay respect for thinking up exploitive ways to pay them enough to give it back for such wise words. In your seemingly oversized head while not allowing humor if it’s contrary for nuanced stimulation

[@loveatheartstory]

Personally, I think Disrespect is often shown through consistent dismissal, breaking boundaries, and undermining actions. When people disregard your feelings, invade your space, or fail to show honesty, it’s a clear sign they don’t value you. Respect should be mutual and demonstrated through both words and actions.

[@CloseLook29]

Speaking about respect and integrity as being essential parts of a respectable person,I would like to make this comment. How about giving the subtitles here their fair share of punctuation marks? The full stops that separate sentences, the commas that gives us a pause, the question marks that challenge us for an answer, and the serial numbers enumerating your nine excellent topics: They have all been torpedoed by your subtitles app, and you have acquiesced with the app’s deficiency. If we humans should have integrity, our written words, which are a part of our personality, also should have some integrity. These subtitles clearly do not have it. This shows total lack of regard for ALL THE SENTENCES conveying the entire message of this otherwise excellent video in the form of subtitles. Yes, “The medium is the message”.

I don't agree so much with the opinions. Mostly, I disagree. Especially on personal appearance. I should not worry that much to impress others and get respect. Be yourself.

[@stoickingdomoffical]

The way you describe their cold, black-heartedness adds an emotional depth to the conversation that resonates with anyone who’s struggled with similar feelings of hurt and confusion. You’ve captured the essence of how respect is not just about words or gestures, but about meaningful action and the willingness to correct wrongs. Your insight reminds us that respect must be mutual, earned, and built on integrity. Do you believe that someone who has shown such disregard for respect can ever truly change, or does their coldness reveal a deeper, unchangeable part of their character?
